How to use external module if it's not installed in the server?

Dear Community,

 

I am currently creating an Alteryx workflow including the python blocks which use the modules "selenium". Everything works fine locally in the designer. Unfortunately, the selenium module is not allowed to be installed in the company server.

 

I would like to ask if there is a way to run the workflow on the server and schedule it without installing the module on the server? I've been told Asset might be useful but I couldn't find the information about how to use it.  Any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

 

Best

Hi @Alteryx_2021 - have you tried adding the asset when saving the workflow to server?

 

When prompted to save, there are workflow options>Manage workflow assets (see below)

From there, you should be able to group the asset to upload.

 

I would however check this with your company, as you will be attaching the module to the workflow (whilst not installing it, your company policy may not allow this!)
